We’d love to hear from you and how we can help you!

A walkthrough of the residence with the homeowner is essential. If you have a conceptual design already started or completed great!! If you’re looking for help in concept and design development we’re here to assist.

What are you planning? (optional)

“We can’t tell you how much we appreciate your attention to the work quality, the schedule, the hands off between contractors, and the budget.”

It has been said that a design/build contractor wears two hats.

  1. First hat

    The designer hat

    The designer hat (first hat) requires an architectural study of the homeowner’s criteria, including functionality and aesthetics. In this phase JR Construction Corp commences with preliminary drawings including floor plans, elevations and details that illustrate the proposed solution to the project. After review of the preliminary drawings with the homeowner, revisions (if any) are completed, then “other hat” takes over.

  2. Second hat

    The builder hat

    The builder hat (second hat) requires JR Construction Corp. provide a realistic construction estimate from the preliminary drawings. A detailed spreadsheet is prepared for review and approval by the homeowner. Modifications are often made to the preliminary drawings and estimates are finalized. The construction drawings are completed and construction commences.

By combining these “two hats” in the design/ build process, cost overruns can be avoided. The net result is a great project built on time, with quality and in budget.
